Abstract
Long-term variations of electron concentration in the mid-latitude ion osphere, independent of heliogeophysical conditions and the meteorolog ical characteristics of the atmosphere, have been determined. It is su ggested that a long-term decrease of atomic and molecular oxygen conce ntrations in the mid-latitude thermosphere is the most possible reason for the trends found in ionospheric parameters.
